The Players offers a $25 million purse, greater than the majors and signature events. Signature event winners get between $3.6 million and $4 million. Major purses aren’t officially announced until championship week but the U.S. Open paid out the largest last year, with $4.3 million.

Weather not only impacted the final round of the 2025 Players Championship, it forced a necessary playoff to move into Monday as Rory McIlroy and J.J. Spaun will go head-to-head with an aggregate score across three holes determining who will take home the $4.
